The evaluation carried out using the methodology of situational-vectorial analysis, developed on the basis of a multi-dimensional model of zone of proximal development and modification of the method of analysis of speech production in creative problem solving. The article briefly describes the stages of applying the methodology: dividing transcripts into situations, analyzing the statements of the counsellor and the student using the method of analyzing of speech production in solving creative problems, correlating statements with the described vectors, fixing the dynamics of changes in the boundaries of the zones of proximal and actual development.
